Poderi Aldo Conterno Langhe Nebbiolo "Il Favot" DOC 2017

93 Points - James Suckling: "Fruity and creamy red with walnut and dark-chocolate aromas and flavors. Just a hint of coffee bean. It’s full and flavorful. Like a baby Barolo. Needs time to soften. Better after 2021." (May, 2020)

Bonacchi Molino del Piano Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2015

93 Points - James Suckling:

"I like the cherry and peach character to this with a hint of raw meat. Medium to full body, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold." (9/20/2020)

93 Points - Vinous:

"The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Molino del Piano bristles with earthy minerals, savory herbs, and animal tones, with sour cherry and hints of dried strawberries in the background. On the palate, soft textures give way to a zesty expression, as brisk acids energize a mix of spiced cherry, and inner florals, with earthy mineral tones forming toward the finale. The finish is long and spicy, resonating on floral-laced red fruits and a buzz of lingering acids. The 2015 Molino del Piano is a bit beastly, like an unruly teenager, but I must admit that I like it quite a bit." - Eric Guido (4/2020)

Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast:

"The nose balances the sweetness of cherries, strawberries and vanilla with more savory notes of graphite and wild herbs. On the palate, hibiscus and cranberry bring out the sourness of the cherries, before a salsa finish of chili and tomatoes. Polished tannins create an unctuous texture." - DC (Dec 2023)

90 Points - Wine Spectator:

"Leads with aromas of earth, tomato leaf and asparagus, followed by flavors of cherry, plum and loam. Dense and lively, with a complex, lingering finish. Rustic and savory, yet distinctive. Drink now through 2033." - BS (Oct 2023)

Renato Ratti Barbera d'Asti DOC "Battaglione" 2022

90 Points - Wine Spectator:

"A plush, generous red, offering plum, blackberry and vanilla aromas and flavors, with a hint of violet. The smooth texture picks up a light grain on the long finish. Drink now through 2028. 4,785 cases made, 4,785 cases imported." - Bruce Sanderson (Dec 2024)

90 Points - James Suckling:

"Notes of crushed red and blue berries with orange peel, cocoa and red flowers. A juicy and vibrant barbera with ripe but crunchy dark fruit and polished texture. Medium-bodied. Racy and flavorful finish. Drink now." (Jun 2023)

90 Points - Wine Advocate:

"The 2022 Barbera d'Asti Battaglione shows an inky dark appearance with bold fruit flavors of blackberry and baked plum. Fruit comes from a site with reddish clay soils and full sunlight from southern exposures. This wine is all about primary intensity and there's no beating around the bush. It shows a soft and opulent texture thanks to four months in neutral oak and delivers a lot of upfront personality. It's an easy-drinking and certainly very charming wine." - Monica Larner (Aug 2023)

Poggio Nardone Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2018

91 Points - James Suckling:

"A red with attractive fruit and walnut undertones, delivering plenty of character and enjoyment as a simple rosso. It’s medium-bodied with firm yet creamy-textured tannins and a delicious finish. Drink now." (8/2020)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:

"This wine pours from the bottle with ruby intensity and bright luminosity. The Poggio Nardone 2018 Rosso di Montalcino offers ripe berry notes with cherry and blackberry up at the front. The rest of the bouquet is very simple, following a steady Sangiovese playlist of crushed flower, spice and forest floor. You get that characteristic sour cherry note on the close, to enjoy with a serving of tagliatelle and ragù.
